Pain (Open)

by **Anne Jones** Sat Mar 10, 2012 8:36 am

Anne walked into the bathroom and sighed in relif that the ghost girl wasn't out of her toliet. She sat on the floor, she didn't want to die anymore, but she still wanted to hurt. She seemed to have less visions of suffering and pain when she was in pain.

She pulled up her sleve and looked at the scars already there, they had been getting deeper. She then pulled out a pocket knife, and fliped it open. She slowly made more cuts, tears streaming down her face. It wasn't fair, she shouldn't have to suffer. she hugged her knees, wondering what she was going to do.

Haley had yet to visit Moaning Myrtle's bathroom, and figured now was the best time. She walked through the third floor and into a long hallway towards the bathroom. When she reached the door, she was about to push it open, when she heard someone sobbing slowly. Haley frowned and wondered what it was, and whether the person wanted her to interrupt or not. Then she figured it had to be Myrtle.

She pushed the door open and looked in. She then felt her heart skip a beat. Anne, the girl she had met in detention with professor Dupont, was sitting on the floor, hugging her knees. That wasn't the horrible thing, though. The horrible, gutwrenching thing was that Anne's arm was bleeding and she was holding a pocket knife.

"Anne!" Haley exclaimed and rushed in, falling to her knees, sliding along the floor until she reached the girl.

Haley seized the knife and looked horrified at the first year. She then saw how heartbroken the girl looked. Haley immediately placed an arm around Anne's shoulders.

"What's wrong?" she mused, calming herself, but keeping the knife out of Anne's reach, should she try to get it back.

Anne didn't know what to say, she was both glad and not that Haley had come. She just contiued to sob. She wasn't sure what to do, She didn't try to take the knife back. She just wanted to feel better but nothing she was doing was working.

"I'm sorry, it's just I don't know what to do." she told Haley. She was stronger than this, but all the years of represtion at cought up to her. she conined to hold her knees and wonder what to do with herself.

by **Haley Vilde Smith** Sun Mar 11, 2012 11:23 am

Haley felt her heart thub painfully at Anne's broken voice and sobs. She squeezed the girl a bit and made soothing sounds.

"I'll help you. We'll get through. We'll fix it," she said softly to the girl.

She started making patterns on Anne's back to try to calm her some more, but it was good that the girl was crying.

"Just keep crying, hon, it'll get better. But please, tell me what's bothering you," Haley pleaded softly, not wishing such heartache upon her worst enemy.

by **Anne Jones** Sun Mar 11, 2012 11:30 am

Anne tried to slow her breathing not wanting to repeat herself. she got her breathing stedy and began to talk.

"I'm a seer and a wile ago I had a few visions of my parents death. I tried to stop it, but as a rusult I shortened her time. It was my fault that she died when she did. Then I've been have visions of myself being tortured. I don't know what to do. It's all so much. I'm taking so many classes as well. I'm trying to help my friends with their problems as well. It's all caught up with me." She told her and then sat there in silence.

Haley bit her lip in horror. She knew what it was like to lose her parents, but to have seen it... Haley felt chills run down her back. But Anne couldn't blame herself for that.

"You saw your mother's death and then you warned her about it, and she died before she was supposed to?" Haley asked softly, checking to see if she had got it right.

"But if that is the case... Anne, you can't blame yourself for that. You did what anyone would've done. I mean that. I would've warned my mother immediately. It's instincts," Haley added kindly.

She knew it wouldn't help saying something like that right now, but it might come to Anne's mind later and help her then.

by **Anne Jones** Mon Mar 12, 2012 11:14 am

Anne could to nothing but nod in response to the girls words. She just curled up in a ball crying her eyes out.She still didn't know what to do. She was scared and alone.

"It's not just my mothers death that's bugging me. It's all too much." She said to Haley, hoping that she would understand.

by **Haley Vilde Smith** Mon Mar 12, 2012 6:50 pm

Haley wrapped her arms securely around Anne and nodded slowly. She could understand that things would be hard being a seer and all. To see so many people suffer would be extremely hard.

"Do you only see bad things?" Haley then asked softly.

by **Anne Jones** Tue Mar 13, 2012 8:19 am

Anne leaned into Haley and relaxed a little bit. when she asked a question. Did she only see bad things? No she saw people happy. She saw smiles and weddings.

"No, but I see things about the people around me." She saw herself, and others.

Haley frowned. So it was close to heart then? She sighed, that must be much worse.

"Have you spoken to professor Slytherin? I mean, she probably knows how to distance herself, and will possibly be able to teach you," she said softly.

She then thought that maybe Anne didn't want to talk to the professor.

"If not, I'll help you as best as I can," she added solemnly.

by **Anne Jones** Thu Mar 15, 2012 3:28 am

Anne smiled at Haley and nodded she had to talk to Professor Slytherin. She smiled at Haley, or tried to. She was glad she had found her.

"Thank you Haley. I needed that." she said hugging the older girl

by **Haley Vilde Smith** Thu Mar 15, 2012 3:31 am

Haley smiled as Anne hugged her. "And I don't mind a new friend," she said softly, patting Anne a bit on the back.

She broke from the hug and wiped Anne's tears away with her thumbs. "We'll get through this," she said softly.

by **Anne Jones** Thu Mar 15, 2012 3:35 am

Anne continued to hug her knees but she nodded at Haley's words. She could get through this. She was strong. She could do this.

"You're right we can get through this." she said smiling at the older girl. of course Moaning Myrtle just had to pick this moment to come in.

by **Haley Vilde Smith** Thu Mar 15, 2012 3:38 am

Haley grinned, but it vanished instantly when the ghost of a girl came wailing in. The infamous Moaning Myrtle...

Haley raised an eyebrow at Anne and then looked up at the ghost again. "Hello," she said carefully.

The ghost's head snapped towards them as she wailed on and on. "Well, at least you're girls! The last person to come in here, was a guy!" she wailed heartbrokenly.

Truthfully, it wasn't a heartbroken voice. It was heartshattering to listen to her. Haley closed her eyes slightly and then turned to look at the ghost again.

"You must be Moaning Myrtle. I am Haley and this is Anne," Haley said, trying to smile.

by **Anne Jones** Thu Mar 15, 2012 7:57 am

anne looked at the ghost girl. "Hey Myrtle. I didn't think you minded boys too much. Anyway how did you die, I always wanted to know." Anne knew that this would cheer her up and so it did. She went into a long rant about it.

She looked at Haley and careful so Myrtle wouldn't see, mouthed, "Lets get out of here."

by **Haley Vilde Smith** Thu Mar 15, 2012 8:31 am

While Myrtle continued on the rant of how she died and how she, on her own, with no help from Harry Potter, found out that it was a basilisk and that Voldemort was behind it, Haley looked at Anne, who mouthed for them to get out.

"Definitely," she mouthed back.

Then they started to slowly sneak out of the room, inch by inch, until they were out.

"You think she'll notice?" she asked, sticking out her tongue.

by **Anne Jones** Thu Mar 15, 2012 8:53 am

Anne shook her head, "No, She wont. Her death is the one thing she can talk about and notice nothing else." she said still shakeing her head. She was glad she had met Haley. She started to walk back to the dorms, healing her wrist along the way. Wondering what she was going to do now, when an owl came and found her. She opened it and read:

Anne

Want to meet me in the Shrieking Shack If so meet me there asap

Parker

She smiled slightly and went to the shack.
